CRNAs taught me how to intubate when I was in paramedic school. I spent quite a bit of time rotating through the OR, and I always stuck around for the entire surgery. Granted, this was seven years ago. I could be a CRNA if I chose to pursue the whole RN deal. I'm curious to see how many people that want to be CRNAs actually know what CRNAs do and have worked extensively around them.

CRNA's do the same work as anesthesiologists. You can work in OB or Epidurals, work in OR or general etc. There aren't that many CRNA's nation wide but schools are found in many different states. This is what I want to potentially do so I have done quite a bit of research. My anesthesiologist friends generally don't like CRNA's because they get paid less, hence hired more. LOL.

Hospitals pay less to get the same service; ergo, CRNAs are more desirable than anesthesiologists from a financial perspective.

In theory.

It probably is a field more male nurses would rather go into. Why? Because it's not as nursey.

Or maybe cause it pays alot?

Well, duh! That's a given. Anybody going into it has the intentions of getting paid the big bucks. Don't let them lie if they say otherwise, lol.

LOL, I love the term nursey.

Actually, all the CRNA's I know are female. Sorry :-(

Male patients need nurses who understand the $hit they are going through from their point of view and that ain't "nursey" nursing.

Carreer wise, I'm thinking 'nurse inventor' and teaching.
